Ovalle (Chile) (1 km E from epicenter)(no details): Quite strong, there was a small crack in the floor outside my house.A bit worried about what was going to happen next but I am used to earthquakes, there the norm. (via EMSC)

(Chile) (320 km S from epicenter)(no details): My girlfriend and I were on the rooftop pool on the 16th floor of our building when she noticed she was having trouble standing up and decided to sit down. She called me over and poolside and I sat down beside her and could obviously feel the building moving almost side to side. I thought it was just the wind at first which can shift taller buildings, but then the swaying stopped. Winds blew a little more but the building didn't shift. That's when we realized it was a small earthquake. 30 minutes later we went down to our room and searched the internet to see if there were any earthquakes near the city of Santiago, and sure enough there was one approximately 320km to the north!! We were shocked and a little excited that we got to feel our first earthquakes!! (via EMSC)

Providencia (Chile) (323 km S from epicenter)(no details): Very short but made things move. (via EMSC)

(Chile) (325 km S from epicenter)(no details): I filled out a similar form online prior to this report. As I said then, I felt the typical shaking (I used to live in northern California) and saw lampshade fringe swaying. (via EMSC)

Mayon volcano photos: Mayon on Luzon Island, towering above Legazpi city is famous for being one of the most perfectly symmetrical stratovolcanoes in the world. It is also one of the most active and most dangerous volcanoes (not only) in the Philippines.

Krakatoa explodes: In the afternoon of 17 Oct, a particularly violent explosion occurred at Anak Krakatau, blasting away a portion of the southern crater rim. A similar event might have been the final trigger for the catastrophic landslide that let the cone collapse and cause a devastating tsunami on 22 Dec 2018.
